Mauricio Pochettino would be open to a move to Manchester United, multiple sources have told BBC Sport.

Pochettino signed an extension to his contract as USA coach in August.

However, the deal is thought to contain clauses that would allow him to leave for specific high-profile jobs.

BBC Sport reported in October that United had sounded out Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann over replacing Michael Carrick, who the club look increasingly likely to sack.

Antonio Conte is also known to be keen on the role.

Manchester United look increasingly likely to sack head coach Michael Carrick.

The club opted to stick with Carrick after the side's 3-0 home defeat by Bournemouth on 25 October, with the intention of reassessing the situation during this month's international break.

Multiple sources have told BBC Sport that the board remain committed to that process, and that no final decision on Carrick's future has been made.

BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2026 is coming soon - and audiences will have more influence than ever over the awards!
